About

Talent Acquisition professional with a history of working in various industries including technology, government, and student services. I’m all about strategy & love finding ways to help people and organizations continue growing. Phrases like “Well that’s just how we’ve always done it” make me cringe. I'm grateful for what mentorship has done for me and am passionate about opening doors for underrepresented minorities to thrive in their careers. One of my favorite quotes: “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” - Legendary Basketball Coach, John Wooden. Interested in discussing GitHub, mentorship, or why Steph Curry is a better all-time player than Lebron? Send me a message!
